To my children - the holiday season is over and welcome back to school. Start your normal routine. It's going to be an interesting 2012 school term as long as you stay focus and discipline and most importantly you must enjoy every moment of it. Student days are the best period in life. Abah and umami will always be here for you - supporting you physically, mentally, emotionally, intellectually

by Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad AUG 11 — The recent controversy over the Selangor Islamic Religious Department (Jais) raid on the Damansara Utama Methodist Church (DUMC) reminded me of a visit I made to a shelter for Muslim HIV patients in Subang Jaya a few years back. One of the members of my PKR division was active in a mosque in that area. She introduced me to the shelter, which was being run by the

What diet got to do with become a blogger? I have no idea, but I think to be a blogger you need to have self-esteem. Being fat may deteriorate one's self esteem. Well I guess that's how they related.My point here he is seriously on diet (carbo-diet). May be he gets irritated everytime people (my friends mostly) noticed how big he is compared to me. He indeed relatively big for a 15 years old.....

I have had a chance to see Maira at her Holiday School playing with sand, grass and water! Supervised by Teacher Ida and Teacher June, and accompanied by Maira's classmate Zen Kin - they played the way they like to play.....what an experience for Maira although she didn't really quite like it! To know more please watch the video (MP4 format) courtesy of my eldest daughter Maisarah.

Setelah 2 tahun Ayahanda berada dalam keadaan terlantar sakit, akhirnya beliau dipanggil menemui Rabbul Jalil dalam keadaan yang begitu aman dan sempurna.

Our past encounters have been limited to a fleeting hello in front of the steps of my alma mater, the Johns Hopkins University’s School of Advanced International Studies in 2006, another chat during a reception in honour of Datuk Ambiga Sreevanesagan in June and, most recently, at the PKR’s recent EGM.

Congratulations to my youngest beloved sister Noor Deena & hubby Mohd Nazri - a proud young parents they are. And what become me? of course a proud "young" uncle..hehe. And this is the second year in a row we were "bestowed" a baby - last year was my other sister, she got a sweet baby girl Aina Shifaq.

Siti's passion for water color painting and arts was put on hold for many-many years due to her domestic requirements as a wife and mother (well, what more can you say when she is the best wife and the best mother for my kids). When the kids are now slightly "independent" and the husband is "less demanding" (hehehe..am I?) she started to practice her long lost rusty skills in painting & brushing.

by Haron YahyaIt is true that Allah (God) may test a person in this world with certain difficulties and worries. However, the believer does not give in to melancholy and pessimism when he is faced with such anxieties; he does not react emotionally. He knows that Allah is trying him to see how he will behave in difficulty, and that the solution is not to turn to weeping or sorrowful regret. The

We were not sure what to do during last school holidays andwe thought it would be fun to make an excursion to nearby tourist spot or holiday destination and come back on the same day. Siti's favorite has always been a hill resort and her hill resort is synonymous with Cameron Highland. Genting Highland? Nay.....never in her dictionary & mine too. The kids love to explore new places regardless

We agreed to allow significant gap in-between when we want to have baby for health and emotional reasons. I believe woman should be allowed to recover from the trauma of giving birth (my first experience in labor room to receive Irfan tells all). In addition, we want our babies to grow with sufficient love as a baby (like get to breast feed, cuddle, sleep in the baby cot, play with food etc etc)
